What data is processed
When you visit the website, the hosting server may process technical access data such as your IP address, browser type, requested URL, date and time of access, referrer URL, and basic device information. This is necessary to deliver the website, keep it secure, diagnose errors, and prevent abuse.
Essential cookies and local storage
Cool Spotted uses essential first-party storage where needed, such as language preferences and admin-session cookies for the private dashboard. These are used to provide requested website functions and keep the website secure.
Google Analytics and Google tag
Cool Spotted uses Google Analytics via the Google tag with measurement ID G-BW4L3Y385B. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics helps understand which pages and product links are used, which devices and browsers visit the website, and how the website can be improved.
The Google tag is included directly in the page source so the installation can be verified and Consent Mode can be applied before analytics settings run. By default, analytics storage is denied.
If you do not consent or if you reject analytics, the Google tag script may still be requested from Google and Google may receive limited cookieless consent pings. Cool Spotted keeps analytics storage denied, does not allow Analytics cookies, and tries to remove existing Analytics cookies for this website.
If you consent, Cool Spotted updates analytics storage to granted and Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* in your browser. Google explains that Analytics cookies are used to measure audience engagement and site statistics, and that the _ga cookie can distinguish one visitor from another. You can change your choice at any time via Cookie Settings in the footer.
Google Analytics can process page information such as page URL, page title, referrer, browser, approximate location, device data, and technical request data. With analytics consent denied, this processing is limited by Consent Mode and is designed to avoid Analytics cookies.
The website does not enable Google Signals or ad personalization through Google Analytics. The consent setup denies advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization by default.
Affiliate links
Some outgoing links lead to retailers or affiliate networks. If you click one of these links, you leave Cool Spotted and the retailer or affiliate network may process your data under its own privacy policy. Cool Spotted does not control those external websites.
Click measurement
Cool Spotted may record privacy-friendly, aggregated click events for product links. This helps understand which products visitors interact with. The system is designed to avoid building personal visitor profiles.
Embedded content and product images
Product images may be loaded from Cool Spotted or from approved external image hosts where permitted. External hosts may receive technical request data when your browser loads those images.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, and data portability. You may also have the right to complain to a competent data protection authority. To exercise privacy rights, contact the email address above.
Retention
Technical logs and click statistics are kept only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, analytics, legal obligations, or site operation. Google Analytics data retention is controlled in the Google Analytics property settings.
Changes
This page may be updated when the website, hosting setup, analytics, affiliate tools, or legal requirements change.
Important note
This policy is a practical website draft and should be reviewed against the actual business owner, hosting contract, analytics setup, affiliate programs, and country of establishment.
